Mission
Embracing the wonder and power of childhood — to grow young children, to inspire the world.
Early Education Approach
The curriculum at the GCC is play-based with a focus on creating caring and nurturing environments, responding to children’s unique needs, and embracing a culture of innovation and change that reflects Google. The inquiry based curriculum is designed bi-weekly based on observations and interests of children, parents and educators. Educators use observation, documentation, reflection collectively to create the curriculum.
We believe the best learning environment starts with a balanced classroom. We keep considerations such as age, gender, development and special needs in mind when designing our classrooms. As children age up, we continue to put a lot of thought into the design of the classroom. We believe in continuity of care, especially for the infant/toddler years. Cohorts stay together at least through young preschool, and at times through pre-k.
